Exploring Food and Movies

 Tuesday: Goodbye Again (1961)          Paula is an interior decorator living in Paris. She has been seeing the same man for several years. He is unfaithful to her, but she still dates him. One day she goes to meet her new American client. She also meets the client's son, Phillip. Phillip is much younger than Paula. He is a lawyer who doesn't take his job very seriously. Phillip starts to have a crush on Paula and makes his intentions known. At first Paula shrugs it off. But soon she becomes fed up with her cheating boyfriend and starts to date Phillip. It can't last. I thought this movie was good. It's actually light hearted for the most part.  Wednesday: The Joker is Wild (1957)       This is based on a true story. Joe is a singer in a speakeasy. He wants to work at another more successful speakeasy. The gangster who owns the speakeasy is not happy about Joe leaving. So he sends men after Joe. Joe is severely injured and can no longer ...

             After getting my booster shot I went to Lottie and Zula's for lunch. It is on NE Russell. There is some neighborhood parking but it is a little tricky. I ended up going down a street with a massive truck blocking the road. Luckily there was a spot and when I came back the truck was gone. I think Lottie and Zula's used to be a food truck.

There are tables you can sit at in a large open shed with hanging lights. No heaters, so it was cold. It is take out only. They mostly do sandwiches but also serve some breakfast items. The service was good. I got the Ricotti Italian sandwich. It has several italian meats and giardinera (...

 Monday: Navy Blue and Gold (1937)           Three men decide to join the Naval Academy to play football. Dickie is the youngest. He comes from a wealthy Navy family and is a football star. John, nicknamed "Truck", has devoted his whole life to joining the Navy. Rog only joined the Navy in hopes of meeting a wealthy woman, marrying her, and getting a nice job from her father. The three become roommates and fast friends. After seeing a picture of Dickie's sister both Truck and Rog want to ask her out. They get a chance to meet her and she makes an unexpected choice. The men go through the academy growing and learning about life. I thought this movie was alright. James Stewart was Truck. Wednesday: Break of Hearts (1935)         Constance is a young music composer. She is struggling to get any of her songs published or played. She has a friend in her building. He was a well known conductor and has had many students. One is the famous condu...
